Mate Tea (yerba mate) is the dried leaf of Ilex paraguariensis, a traditional South American herb enjoyed for its naturally caffeinated, steady lift. Smooth and herbaceous, it offers focused energy with a gentler feel than coffee and can be enjoyed hot or iced for everyday refreshment.
♡ Why we love it: Clean, steady energy with a grassy, toasty character - easy to sip through the day, great hot or iced, and lovely with lemon, mint, or a touch of honey.
Size: 100g.
